Reclaiming our history, culture, and heritage makes for a truly unique and meaningful gift!

The phrase “Stay Woke” carries deep roots in our collective history, first emerging in 1938 through the voice of blues musician Huddie Ledbetter, famously known as Lead Belly. His protest song, Scottsboro Boys, reflected on the 1931 case where nine Black teenagers were falsely accused of raping two white women in Scottsboro, Alabama.

Lead Belly explained the inspiration behind his powerful lyrics: “I made this little song about down there… So I advise everybody, be a little careful—best stay woke, keep their eyes open.”

For generations, “Stay Woke” served as a profound reminder in African American households—a call to vigilance, wisdom, and care. Sadly, today its meaning has been overshadowed and distorted by political rhetoric and misuse.

Through this collection, we celebrate our heritage with pride and honor the legacy of the Divine Nine. Together, we reaffirm the timeless truth: “Best stay woke,” just as past generations knew—because it is for our good!

This unisex heavy blend hooded sweatshirt is made with a thick blend of cotton and polyester. It feels plush, soft and warm, a perfect choice for any cold day. In the front, the spacious kangaroo pocket adds daily practicality while the hood's drawstring is the same color as the base sweater for extra style points.
